I promise you its not a weak HWT era

Is it me...or does it seem like the eastern euro posters didnt start to watch boxing until the Klits got on..lol This site didnt even exist until then. You HAVE to love it. Its like they really dont know **** outside of their avatars.

 

You are propably right someone started to watch boxing when klits got on but dont even try to act like most of us havent watch the sport for a looooooong time.

 

Weak era of HW boxing. Its been this way for a while now not just because of the Klits. They are actually the two best HWs but they have little competition. NO HWs are really skilled. They lack many skill sets that were prevalent in the 20 to 25 years ago. Most of the HWs are just big, strong guys who rely on power and strength to win their fights. Its not anyone imagining its a weak era its just fact if you compare this era to most the era when larry holes or LL, MT or evander faught.

 

I agree. I think it is made out to be weaker than it is partly because it is weak in the US. Sometimes it´s also hard to compare eras because lots of evenly matched fighters who have all dominated may make an era seem better. Some of it is just comparative. I do think there is a point with the washed up 90s fighters like Holyfield, Briggs and McCall doing well in this era though, making the competition look really weak.

One reason why I think this era looks weaker than it is, is just how many "world" titles there are. We have recently had John Ruiz, Nikolay Valuev, Shannon Briggs, Lamon Brewster, Chris Byrd, Sergei Lyakhovich, Ruslan Chagaev, Sultan Ibragimov, Oleg Maskaev, Hashim Rahman, Corrie Sanders and Samuel Peter holding "world" titles. They should really only ever have been contenders.

Say if Lennox Lewis had been the only world champion (no Ruiz or Byrd) and then Vitali had held the title, followed by Wlad, with all these boxers just mentioned just as contenders, the era wouldn´t have looked as bad as it has IMO.

 

It is a weak era. When a ****** like Valuev in his embarrassing boxing abilities holds a championship belt then the division is at its worst by far.

 

Man do I agree. Golota probably deserved the nod over both Byrd and Ruiz. Valuev is a joke too.

 

I'm no fan of the Klit's but I do believe they, and the division they rule, get **** on far too much. Yes the HW scene isn't as good as it was in the 70's and 90's but you don't hear the media and general public bitching about the LHW scene, which is just as weak. Also, MW doesn't get slammed even though it is just a story of 2 guys - Pavlik and AA - and the rest are ****... the Klit Bros are better quality champions than either Pavlik or AA imo.

 

Chagaev would get beaten by a 50 year old Holmes, but yeah it's not a weak era...

What the ****?

 

What the **** are you talkin about?

And then you have the audacity to bring up the same Ibriganov who had to run to win against an ancient Holyfield?

What is different about the styles?

Maybe the fact that they can't do **** with what they got. Chagaev did a poor imitation of Mike Tyson, but that's also due to the fact that Chagaev fights like an amature in the sense that he throws the 1-2, doesn't throw combinations, can't stick on the inside and has no power.

What do you see that would make you think guys are better today?

 

Exactly.

But these mother ****ers who would be better suited to following MMA wouldn't know the ****in difference.

 

What the ****?

You never even seen Tucker fight, yet the similiarties are stunning?

Where in the **** are the fluid boxer punchers?

There isn't one mother ****er out there except for maybe Haye, and I ****in guess I would go with Ibriganov.

Other than that, you got a bunch of one dimensional garbage as fighters.

 

whats even more shocking than how bad the heavyweight division is right now, is the number of people who think its not that bad....
perfect exampe you used with holyfield as shot as he is at 44 years old, even getting a shot, and then should have won it...horrible fight, but one guy shot and 44, the other is our heavyweight champ..(well at least the WBAs champ)

 

Well Why an earth Valuev is champ still?nutnutnut
Holyfiled is not the first one to beat him and he did not even beat him to be honest...

valuev does not represent nothing at heavyweight tool..atsch

 

But he's champ...

And would you bet your house on Povetkin to beat him?

Exactly...

WEAK ERA
